Background: Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the major causes of sexually transmitted infections throughout the world. It is the primary cause for pelvic inflammatory disease, tubal infertility and ectopic pregnancy in females. Most infections are asymptomatic and remain undetected. The burden of disease in the Kenyan population is not well characterised and few previous studies, done in Kenya, show the prevalence of genital Chlamydia infection in sexually active females. There is a need to define prevalence in our local population as a public health need and to determine whether rapid point-of-care testing should be incorporated as a component of sexually transmitted infection testing. Objective: To assess the public health burden of genital Chlamydia infection in sexually active women of reproductive age in an urban population within Nairobi. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed. All women attending the gynaecology and antenatal clinics at the two study sites were invited to consent to completion of a questionnaire and vaginal swab collection. Women who tested positive for Chlamydia were offered treatment, together with their partner(s), and advised to come for a follow-up test. Results: A total of 300 women were tested. The prevalence of genital Chlamydia trachomatis was found to be 6% (95% CI 3.31% - 8.69%). The prevalence was higher in women who represented a higher socioeconomic level, but this difference was not significant (OR = 2.7). Use of vaginal swabs was established to be a more acceptable form of sample collection. Conclusion: The prevalence of genital Chlamydia is significant in our female population. There is a justifiable need to institute opportunistic screening programs to reduce the burden of this disease. Rapid point-of-care testing as a potential component of sexually transmitted infection testing can be utilised.

مولانا عبداﷲ عمادی

آہ! مولانا عمادی
حیدرآباد دکن کے اخبار البلاغ سے یہ معلوم کرکے سخت صدمہ ہوا کہ ہمارے قدیم دوست مولانا عبداﷲ العمادی نے حیدرآباد میں جہاں انھوں نے سکونت اختیار کرلی تھی، ۱۱؍ شوال ۱۳۶۶؁ھ کو داعی اجل کولبیک کہا، ان کی عمراس وقت ستر برس کے قریب ہوگی، مرحوم اردو، فارسی اور عربی کے مستند ادیب اور مورخ تھے اور تقریباً ہر علم و فن سے آشنا تھے۔
مر حوم کا وطن ضلع جونپور میں امرتھوا نام ایک موضع تھا، اورعمادالدین نام کے کسی بزرگ کے خاندان سے نسبی نسبت رکھتے تھے اور اسی تعلق سے اپنے کو عمادی لکھتے تھے، اصلی نام عبداﷲ تھا اور کبھی کبھی اخفائے نام کے لیے عبداﷲ کا فارسی ترجمہ ’’خدا بندہ‘‘ بھی لکھا ہے، جو سب سے پہلے نو مسلم تا تاری سلطان کا نام تھا، مگر شہرت عام عبداﷲ عمادی کے نام سے تھی۔
غالباً ابتدائی تعلیم کے بعد ہی یہ لکھنؤ آگئے تھے، اور مولانا عبدالعلی آسی مدراسی کے دامن تربیت میں پرورش پائی، مولانا عبدالعلی کا اصل وطن گو مدراس تھا، مگرجب سے تعلیم کے لیے لکھنؤ آئے یہیں کے ہوکے رہ گئے، یہیں فرنگی محل میں مولانا عبدالحئی صاحب فرنگی محل سے تعلیم پائی، ادب، شعر اور تاریخ گوئی میں ملکہ رکھتے تھے، اکثر کتابوں کے آخر میں جو ان کے مطبع میں چھپیں ان کی تاریخیں آپ کو مل سکتی ہیں، ان کی صحبت میں مولاناعمادی صاحب کو بھی زیادہ تر شعر و سخن اور ادب و تاریخ کا فائدہ پہنچا، مولانا عبدالعلی ایک زمانہ میں رامپور میں مدرس تھے، وہاں بھی وہ ان کے ساتھ رہے، پھر جب وہ لکھنؤ آئے، تووہ بھی ان کے ساتھ یہاں آئے اور یہیں ان کے مرغ شہرت نے پروبال پیدا کئے۔

Hukum Keluarga Islam Melayu di Brunei Darussalam

Hukum keluarga merupakan inti syari’ah dan memiliki posisi penting dalam Islam. Umat Islam beranggapan bahwa hukum keluarga merupakan pintu gerbang untuk mendalami agama Islam. Karena itulah hukum keluarga diakui sebagai dasar dalam pembentukan masyarakat Muslim. Secara global disebutkan hanya dalam hukum keluarga, syari’at Islam berlaku bagi banyak bahkan seluruh umat Islam di dunia.Namun, perkembangan zaman serta perubahan kondisi dalam kehidupan membuat hukum yang telah ditetapkan dalam Nash atau Ulama-ulama fikih mengalami pembaharuan. Pembaharuan hukum keluarga di berbagai negara Islam tidak lepas dari dinamika reformasi yang ingin melakukan unifikasi hukum baik untuk menyatukan dua madzhab besar (Sunni dan syi’i) atau menyatukan berbagai agama. Salah satu negara di Asia Tenggara yang melakukan pembaharuan hukum keluarga adalah Brunei Darussalam. Dalam MIB (Melayu Islam Beraja) yang merupakan ideologi negara Brunei Darussalam termaktub di dalamnya penetapan ahl Sunnah wal jama’ah (dari sisi akidahnya) dan madzhab Syafi’i (dari sisi fikihnya). Tuntutan melakukan pengembangan dan pembaharuan terhadap hukum keluarga akibat perkembangan zaman Akan terus dilakukan jika dirasa ketentuan hukum klasik sudah tidak dapat menyelesaikan permasalahan di era modern ini.
